Effingham deputies search for credit card thieves

SPRINGFIELD - Effingham County sheriff's officials are seeking the public's help to identify two suspects wanted in connection with the theft of several credit cards.

Sheriff's spokesman David Ehsanipoor said the suspects entered a doctor's office May 7 on Silverwood Commercial Drive and took a purse, which contained several credit cards. The cards were used at area gas stations in South Carolina.

Effingham sheriff's officials are working with Richmond Hill police to interview several witnesses who have been able to identify the suspects caught on video surveillance.

"The suspects are believed to be involved in several thefts in the region, including at least one in Effingham County," Ehsanipoor said.

The photos were obtained from a package store in Savannah where the suspects attempted to use one of the stolen cards.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Effingham County Sheriff's Office at 912-754-3449.
